1st ENTRY!!

Well i kinda started my blog under my blog description but i was past my limit so i had to stop so to continue what i had been saying there...I am doing this because I want to remember this experience, I want to learn from, and really take advantage of all of it. So I don't leave till March but I want to see the whole process, what goes on with me before, during and after this experience. I don't want to forget it, i want to be able to be 80 years old barely leaving my house maybe having alzheimer's haha...that was kinda depressing there sorry lol... and get to re-experience it and feel it all again and remember. So i guess this blog is mainly for me but it is kinda also for you guys reading it. I hope you enjoy reading it and what i really want is for us to not feel so far away and disconnected. I want you guys to comment so we can talk, you can even blog about yourself in the comments so that i can hear whats going on with you, I love you guys and want to stay close!! So again i guess i'm a little ahead of myself since i don't leave for two months...again if i do leave, all of this really depends on if i go for sure, however I was deep;y ncouraged by today's Jesus Calling for those of you who read it look at it, for those of you who don't i highly recomend you get this book it's amazing. It's Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young, it's a great little devotional book, one that just really seems to speak everyone but each in a unique way, like you feel that the author wrote it just for you. Anyways... the highlights from todays that i loved said, "When you decide on a course of action that is in line with My will, nothing in heaven or on earth can stop you. You may encounter many obstacles as you move toward your goal, but don't be discouraged,-- never give up!! (that's just so uplifting and hopeful) ...Much, much stress results from your wanting to make things happen before their times have come. One of the main ways I assert My sovereignty is in the timing of events. If you want to stay close to me and do things my way, ask Me to show you the path forward moment by moment. Instead of dashing headlong toward you goal, let Me set the pace. Slow down, and enjoy the journey in MY presence." So that end part kind of made me nervous like oh great is this a sign i'm not going to go but that's not what the point is the point is no matter what, whether you have to wait of whether it happens now slow down and enjoy me and all that i do for you in MY time not yours. So i'm trying to let that be a focus as well as remembering nothing can prevent something from happening that is God's will so i'm gonna work hard to make this trip work because i do feel like it is God's will but if it's not and it doesn't work out i'll be ok with that too. And these are the 2 verses that really stuck out to me from today's devo, Romans 8:31-What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? And... Luke 1:37-For nothing is impossible with God. Well i guess that's all for right now, i have a bunch more thoughts but i think i'll share them later, i'm getting a head ache from the computer screen. lol Audios!!
